Valid complains?
He said the game doesn't use IR pointer well. The game doesn't use it at all!!

That's a case of poor research, but it doesn't change his experienece, is your opinion on a burger you don't like invalid if you don't know the method by which the cooks prepared it?  

I don't think if he knew the game used a different sensing method for aiming that he would have had a different experience trying to use it.  

Before we all get into the "you're just being negative" stuff this is the only point of the debate I am arguing against, I do not care about the rest of the review or defending it, just this point about how if you don't know how a game senses your actions your experience is invalid.

It depends on what he was using it for. If it's just something like menu selection, then there's really not that much of a difference between the control methods. He might have a point there.

However, there would be fundamental differences between bigger uses such as items. Something like flying would be completely changed if you thought you pointed to where you wanted to go instead of subtly shifting the Wiimote around. Since it wasn't being used right, it would appear clunky and poorly implemented. If that's the case, a better analogy would be you shove the burger up your nose and then complain how it tasted terrible.

Either way, they removed that part of the review.
